"      Catherine O&amp;#039;Hara first worked with Tim Burton&amp;#039;s on the director&amp;#039;s 1988 breakthrough Beetlejuice and returned to the filmmaker&amp;#039;s quirky gothic world to lend her voice to The Nightmare Before Christmas. The comedienne reunites with Burton for Frankenweenie, an Oscar-nominated 3D black-and-white animation about a boy who revives his dead dog. Digital Spy got on the phone with O&amp;#039;Hara to talk voicing three characters in Frankenweenie - Susan Frankenstein, the school gym teacher and Weird Girl - and quiz her about those Beetlejuice 2 rumours... You last worked with Tim Burton on The Nightmare Before Christmas - have you stayed in touch since then? &amp;quot;I would see him once in a blue moon. I met my husband (Bo Welch) on Beetlejuice, he designed the sets and he&amp;#039;s a production designer and Tim actually set us up to date!  &amp;quot;A couple of times when Tim came to town we&amp;#039;d have dinner and it was lovely, kind of like a relative you want to see, where you just sort of go back to what you were like when you last saw each other. But you know, he lives in England and I live here [in Los Angeles], so I&amp;#039;d rarely see him. I would love to work with him, on film, in one of his films, it hasn&amp;#039;t happened yet but I was really happy to be called about this.&amp;quot; You didn&amp;#039;t feel insulted when he said, &amp;#039;I want you to play Weird Girl&amp;#039;? &amp;quot;Ha! Not at all, that sounded so cool. I didn&amp;#039;t know what it was going to be, but I just loved the name &amp;#039;Weird Girl&amp;#039;. When I first got called, they said, &amp;#039;He wants you to play Mrs Frankenstein, the gym teacher and Weird Girl&amp;#039;. Instantly I was like, &amp;#039;Yeah! Weird Girl, I don&amp;#039;t know what that is, but yes please&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  Do you need to see artwork or what your character looks like before you can commit to a voice? &amp;quot;Yeah, when I went in for the first session he showed me some great sketches and some storyboards and briefly told me about the characters. I don&amp;#039;t think there was much discussion about the characters - it was just a real gift of inspiration, all the sketches, and just being in the room with Tim.  &amp;quot;And then we just started doing things... I must have seen a drawing or two before the first session because I remember thinking that I didn&amp;#039;t really have the voice, but for Weird Girl, she was obviously the classmate you don&amp;#039;t want to be stuck with!&amp;quot; Was it nice to be with Martin Short in the recording booth to record the Frankensteins? &amp;quot;Yes, that was really nice to be able to do that - a couple of times I think we went in there together. When I saw the movie I thought those scenes, they were just lovely, the family scenes - especially after Victor loses Sparky, the scenes in his bedroom are just quiet and real and quite beautiful. I&amp;#039;m glad that Tim brought Martin and me into the same session to get the tone that he wanted.&amp;quot; Did you keep any of the models for the characters? &amp;quot;Do you know, I did. They gave me three figures. The three characters that I voiced, they&amp;#039;re beautiful, they are so beautiful.&amp;quot;   There&amp;#039;s incredible craftsmanship on show... &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s the beautiful thing about the extras on the DVD. There&amp;#039;s footage of the actual artists at work and the making of the movie. I&amp;#039;ve done a lot of publicity for this movie - gratefully I&amp;#039;ve done it, and I&amp;#039;m proud to be yapping about my part in the movie - but when it comes to talking about the actual making of the movie, I speak with no authority. There are hundreds of people that really made this movie, and you get to see them on the DVD.&amp;quot; Have you heard anything about Beetlejuice 2 and whether or not you&amp;#039;ll be involved? &amp;quot;I think they&amp;#039;ve talked to Michael Keaton about it. I don&amp;#039;t think that I&amp;#039;d be involved unless I got to play another character, I don&amp;#039;t think that family would be involved, but it&amp;#039;d be great if we could play other people.  &amp;quot;It comes up every once in a while, and I think they&amp;#039;ve had different writers throughout the years. I don&amp;#039;t know, but I love working with Tim.&amp;quot; Frankenweenie is released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 25. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
